House prices rose higher than expected in November, jumping 1.1 per cent in
what is the 10th successive monthly increase, according to Halifax.

Halifax, part of Lloyds Banking Group, said average house prices in the three
months to November were 7.7 per cent higher than a year earlier compared to
an annual 6.9 per cent rise in the three months to October.

Economists had expected prices to rise by 0.6 per cent on the month and by 7.2
per cent in yearly terms.
